What do you think of their decisions on due process?
This is going to sound wishy washy but I agree with the decision less than I did before. So to try and answer it while I disagree with the dissent the majority probably made a bigger mess of things than was neccessary.

The pro-life SC justices were all appointed by Republicans. Democrats have appointed only pro-abortion justices.
Republicans also appointed pro-choice SCJ O' Connor (apptd by Reagan).
And both SCJ Souter (Bush I) and SCJ Kennedy (Reagan) were highly lauded by conservatives back in the day. However, Souter usually votes with the liberal wing, and Kennedy, in 1992 in Casey v Planned Parenthood, gave the deciding vote to uphold RVW. His vote could have reversed RVW - but he voted to uphold it.
So, as rlj pointed out, you do never know what you're going to get. SCJ nominations, then, is a rather moot issue, IMHO.
It's not a moot issue it about rationalizing support for those who without a doubt support abortion...

McCain and Obama are night and day on the issue of abortion. Since they are the 2 major players in the race for president, the choice should be a no brainer for those concerned about the practice of aborting babies.

As well the fact that people will go to great lengths to justify their support those who support abortion...
Btw... No amount of reasoning will suffice for supporting anyone that supports the murder of the unborn...

John,
No matter where you stand on the issue of abortion, the fact is Republicans also appointed pro-choice SCJ O' Connor (apptd by Reagan).
And both SCJ Souter (Bush I) and SCJ Kennedy (Reagan) were highly lauded by conservatives back in the day. However, Souter usually votes with the liberal wing, and Kennedy, in 1992 in Casey v Planned Parenthood, gave the deciding vote to uphold RVW. His vote could have reversed RVW - but he voted to uphold it.
No matter if you're Democrat or Republican, the aforementioned facts remain, no matter how much you choose to TRY to diminish them.
Peace and God bless,

Any attempt to use the above in order to say there is no discernable difference between the parties regarding the murder of the unborn is disingenuous and commonly used by people in order to justify support for abortion... And if you believe both parties support the murder of the unborn a vote for either is an issue...

My 2 cents on McCain:
While he may not be perfect pro-life (even though NRL has basically endorsed him)...I certainly disagree with those who say there's no difference between the Republicans and Democrats today in anything. IMO McCain would do a lot more than Obama on the issue.

Anyone with an honest interest in abortion knows that there are significant differences between the parties. There are certainly many, many people alive today because they were protected by Republican policies that would have been murdered had Democrats had their way.
The notion that there is no difference in practice or outcome between the two parties is nothing more than self-delusion. It is a worthless attempt to justify their support for people who believe in unrestricted slaughter of the unborn.

In the San Francisco Chronicle (8/20/99) McCain sided with the pro-abortion camp, suggesting that overturning Roe v. Wade would lead to illegal abortions. Realizing, however, that he could not inveigle the GOP nomination with such views, McCain more recently has resold himself as pro-life, even saying he would support the South Dakota ban. What are Americans to believe? He either is pro-choice or lacks any real conviction on the subject.
Question Thomas, why do we always focus on things in politics that the Bible either doesn't mention or barely mention (abortion, homosexuals) yet ignore everthing else (poverty, homelessness, people in need)
I've noticed that about this site. Really disturbs me.

Then I am thankful the Jesus that I read about in my handy Bible says otherwise. He fed the poor, helped the ones who are sick. He was a great social advocate. Even in the Old Testament if you read it as it says, you will see God's merciful side. The Prophets, God's spokemen, were downright mad that the higher classes were not helping out the less fortunate.
Why are our priorities not the priorities the God we serve in the Bible identical? They certainly aren't when I read these political discussion portions of this website.
Now let me repeat, why do we NEVER focus on this yet its literally a central theme of the Bible?
I've never been able to truly understand this. I am reading the Bible literally here.

It speaks even more sharply and clearly on poverty. Perhaps more importantly, the sharpest and clearest words are for those who claim to be religious and yet do nothing to promote social justice (Matthew 23).
